The Spring Mountains, Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Nevada This canyon in the Mojave Desert is graced by brightly colored Aztec sandstone cliffs.
Palouse River Canyon, Washington The 167 mile long Palouse River flows toward the Snake River. The Palouse carved this canyon in this area sculptured by the Missoula Floods of the last ice age. The geologic features of the canyon are full of evocative names; the Sentinel Bluffs flows of the Grand Ronde Formation; the Ginkgo Flow of Wanapum Basalt.
Horseshoe Bend, Page, Arizona This is an interesting and much-photographed spot above the Colorado River. The water color is gorgeous, and you can stand and appreciate it as long as you aren't afraid of heights. It's not such an easy place to photograph. You are dependent on the weather to produce an interesting sky, and there's not much you can do with the foreground. I liked the place anyway,
